I’ve had a difficult task in front of my face for some time. I’ve been supremely good at finding ways to procrastinate getting this project done. There’s the really good excuse: lots of other client projects that pop up. There’s the wimp out excuse: doing […]
Brian Signorelli’s Why I Fired My Marketing Agency article on Hubspot got my attention right away. After all, I wanted to know what big mistake(s) this guy’s agency made and what I should do to avoid it myself. (All those negatives don’t add up to a positive.)
Since I got a lot of feedback on my piece last week, Using the 80/20 Marketing Rule to Vastly Increase Sales, […]
Many folks ask me why they should invest in using Twitter if they already have a Facebook page (and vice versa). After all, a tweet lasts but a few seconds and then it’s gone, lost in the stream.

(I will skip […]
“Let’s go to the moon!”
It might as well have been Mickey Rooney telling Judy, “Let’s put on a show!” Both goals likely seemed unattainable when first considered by those tasked with attaining them.
As an audience member watching the screen we simply saw a speed-through of rehearsals, set-building, costume fittings and voila! Opening night with a packed house was upon Mickey and Judy and all those kids with big dreams of […]
What’s so magical about a productivity formula? It’s magical because if you follow it, it works!
Day in and day out, you can work your patootie off and not be productive. (I have those days. I just feel dreadful that I haven’t been nearly as productive as I hoped with my time.)
